Wind power isn't for the birds

Wind power kills 30,000 to 60,000 birds per year

The amount of birds killed by wind power is minuscule compared to the amount of birds killed by transportation, yet so much attention is focused on wind power and bird deaths.
Even more ironic, how many more deaths are caused by the pollution from the fossil fuel energy that wind power is replacing?

Perspective.

Of course deaths from wind power should be minimized, but shouldn't we keep things in perspective?

Anyway, for more on the issue of bird deaths and wind power, checkout this Reuter's article.
